Well, technically, it''s fraud. You might want to look up p-scope Certified Appraisers in your area and call one of them for advice on how to handle this. In Massachusetts, if someone is perpetrating fraud (this is a classic bait and switch, or just outright misrepresentation), it''s the state attorney general, consumer division, I would call. Don''t know what state you''re in or how it would be handled there.
As for the ring loss, I''m so sorry!! I bet dd feels aweful. Was it not insured? What is your budget? Perhaps the thing to do for now is replace it at the same size (at a good P''scope vendor with a trade up policy), with a nice whitegold halo from Fay Cullen. Then eventually you could go up in size.
I can look for a couple and link them if you''d like. They''re really pretty and not expensive.
Best,

P.S. I would pass on those earings obviously. But like someone said above, Pearlman''s has a Great Deals section on their web site for consignment, previously worn and estate pieces. Perhaps you could find something there?
